My Project

I would like to ask you for a donation toward my project that will place books in the hands of the students I teach. I'm also requesting a shelving unit to organize our classroom.

The ultimate goal of a classroom library is to provide students with a wide range of reading material.

With your generosity, we can build a classroom library where students can enjoy books of different genres. The students will be able to select books that capture their interest. The books will be on their independent reading level.

Please consider donating today to help place books in the hands of my future fifth graders.
